Abstract

We will treat free boundary problems of a wave type in this section. Examples of the physical phenomena that we have in mind are a motion of a soap film attached to a water surface or a droplet motion on a planner surface. The surface acts as an obstacle and there may exist adhesion forces when the film or the droplet detach from the obstacle. We consider the case with a positive contact angle in an equilibrium state. We also calculate the moving contact angle according to a dynamical action functional.

Dedicated to Professor Yoshikazu Giga’s 60th birthday.
